Shereen El-Feki: HIV — how to fight an epidemic of bad laws

There is an epidemic of HIV, and with it an epidemic of bad laws — laws that effectively criminalize being HIV positive. At the TEDxSummit in Doha, TED Fellow Shereen El-Feki gives a forceful argument that these laws, based in stigma, are actually helping the disease spread.

Shereen El Feki is a TEDGlobal Fellow who writes on health and social welfare issues in the Arab world.
